The Hillsdale Volunteer Ambulance Service provides 100% free emergency medical response to Hillsdale residents and surrounding communities on a mutual aid basis 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our emergency calls can include: Cardiac arrests, strokes, automobile/motorcycle accidents, OB/GYN emergencies, allergic reactions, falls, diabetic emergencies, seizures, choking, high fever, flu, etc. We respond with unwavering resolve and we rapidly jump up to help our neighbors and protect the public – 24 hours per day/7 days per week, all as volunteers. We continue to be one of the busiest single ambulance agencies in the area with our call volume averaging 900 emergency requests in addition to countless standbys and special events! In 2020, we are celebrating our 66th year of service to Hillsdale and our surrounding Pascack Valley Community! Generations later, we’re still here looking out for all of our residents and visitors to the area alike. And as always, we have never billed a patient for our services. We DO NOT receive any Federal funding, so our volunteers can only continue to provide free pre-hospital care to you, your family and friends, and your neighbors because of your generous donations. We are an independent non-profit entity and, as such, we rely heavily on your support to fund our ambulance, equipment, training, and operating expenses. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to serving you and your families for years to come!

HVAS Member Spotlight🚑

Meet Jim, one of our Crew Chiefs & Drivers who rides with us on Thursday nights. When Jim isn’t serving the community with HVAS, you can find him spending quality time with his grandkids and family or competing as an active off-road triathlete… and not just casually… Jim is a 3x National Champion.

A fun fact about Jim is he spent four months salmon fishing on the Kuskokwim River in the small town of Bethel, Alaska.

Jim has been part of HVAS for three years, and he says his favorite part is the group of people he works with who are friendly, devoted, welcoming, talented, and often fun.

Jim would like to share a message with the community:
“The work we do at HVAS can be hard, but it is rewarding to do something important for the community.”

Our Saturday crew runs on Dunkin! Some warm drinks on this frigid day is just what the crew needed!

We hope everyone is staying safe and warm during these extremely cold few days! Hopefully no one needs an ambulance, but if you do, we will be there! Our volunteers are scheduled to cover all weekend!

Thank you to the Hillsdale DPW for their countless hours working to clear the roads throughout the storm. Hillsdale Volunteer Ambulance bought lunch for the guys today to thank them for always ensuring our building driveway was cleared for response to calls! The DPW also responded to all medical calls that we had throughout the storm and after to ensure access to patients was not delayed by storm conditions. Thank you Hillsdale DPW!

Bergen County Communications would like to formally recognize all personnel who faced the severe winter weather with professionalism and dedication.

To our Police Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, and Public Safety Dispatchers, we extend our sincere appreciation for your unwavering commitment to public safety during challenging conditions.

These efforts would not be possible without the tireless work, extended hours, and dedication of our Department of Public Works and Snow Plow Operators. During weather events such as this, your work is essential in ensuring roadways remain passable, allowing emergency services to respond quickly and safely.

Thank you to all who serve and support our community. Your dedication and professionalism do not go unnoticed.

So, we’re kind of over the snow… Our volunteers have already taken two calls today in the storm and can reliably report that the road conditions are not good! Stay home if you can today! The Hillsdale DPW has done a great job trying to keep up with the storm the best they can and has responded to both of our call locations today to clear the road and pathway to residence!

If you are shoveling your driveways, make sure to not clean off your car into the streets and make them worse for the DPW! If you’re out shoveling, take breaks often! We are ready to respond but hope no one else requires our services today!

Meet Jenna! She’s a Cadet with HVAS and rides on Monday nights. Outside of HVAS, Jenna is always on the move — she plays lacrosse, runs track, and attends Pascack Valley High School.
A fun fact about Jenna is that she’ll be continuing her lacrosse career in college!
Jenna has been a part of HVAS for 1 year and says she’s loved making new friendships during her time with HVAS.

We are an independent non-profit entity and, as such, we rely heavily on your support to fund our ambulance, equipment, training, and operating expenses.

Please ask yourself these questions: What price would you put on a life? What is the value of the peace of mind that an ambulance will be ready to come to you in your time of need? While these questions may not have definitive answers, a full tank of gas to keep the ambulance running costs $160, a single pager for members to be alerted to calls costs us $500, life-saving EpiPens cost $600, and an oxygen tank to help patients continue to breathe costs $300. Donations in any amount are desperately needed and very much appreciated! Please consider a generous donation by visiting our secure website at www.hillsdaleamb.org and clicking the “Donate” button. We thank you for your continued support and look forward to serving you and your families for years to come!
